A soap box derby will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the first time the weird and wacky inventions began rocking and rolling down a course near Ludlow.
This year's Richard's Castle Soap Box Derby will be held on June 30 and it will be the 20th time the event has been held on the inclines of Hanway Common, near Ludlow.
The seed of the idea came from Humphrey & Hermione Salwey as part of the calendar of events in 2004 when Mr Salwey was High Sheriff of Shropshire. Original committee members, some of whom are still integral to the organisation 20 years later, remember an initial meeting in the autumn of 2003 to discuss the idea.
